 Generation of Data .1

Step One
Index finger length from 6
members of the
group has been measured to
generate
the following data
 Measures of fingers length in CM
Data in
Sorted random S/N
  8.5 10.1 1
  8.9 9 2
 9 8.9 3
  10 10 4
  10.1 10.1 5
  10.1 8.5 6
2. Classification of Data:

This data is classified as numerical –

Continuous
Because we are measuring the length

3. Measures of central tendency:

(i) Mean:
Is the sum of all values / total number of
observations
 …Mean cont
Mean = ∑of all values
total number of observations
= x1 + x2 + x3……..+x6
6
= 8.5+8.9+9+10+10.1+10.1
6
= 56.6/6 = 9.4
Mean = 9.4
 :Median )ii(
  8.5 Is the middle point of a
sorted data
  8.9 Since we have even
 9 number of data;
The order of the median
  10 = n/2 + 1 = 6/2 +1 = 3+1
  10.1 =4th observation
So, Median = 9+10/2
  10.1 =19/2 = 9.5
:Mode )iii(
Is the most frequent
  8.5 value in the data
So, the mode is 10.1
  8.9
 9
  10
  10.1
  10.1
4. Measures of spread:
(i) Max and Min
  8.5
The max measure in
  8.9 this data is 10.1
 9 And the min
measure is 8.5
  10
  10.1
  10.1
:Range )ii(
Range is the difference between the
Max and the Min or = Max – Min
1.6= 8.5 – 10.1
So, the range is 1.6
(iii) Percentiles:
Percentile = P/100 (n+1)
(a) P25 = 25/100(6+1) = 0.25 x 7 = 1.75
So, P25 = 1.75
P75 = 75/100(6+1) = 0.75 x7 = 5.25 )b(
P75 = 5.25

(iv) Interquartile range:

Is the difference between P75 and P25
= P75-P25 = 5.25 -1.75 = 3.5
Therefore, IQR = 3.5
(v) Variance:
Variance is the sum of squared
differences between each value and the
mean divided by total number of
observations minus one

=∑ of the squared differences

n-1
 Find the differences between the
mean and each data value
differences Value - Mean
- 0.9   8.5 – 9.4
- 0.5   8.9 – 9.4
- 0.4   9 – 9.4
0.6   10 – 9.4
0.7   10.1 – 9.4
0.7   10.1 – 9.4
 Square the differences
Squared differ differ Value - Mean
0.81 - 0.9   8.5 – 9.4
0.25 - 0.5   8.9 – 9.4
0.16 - 0.4   9 – 9.4
0.36 0.6   10 – 9.4
0.49 0.7   10.1 – 9.4
0.49 0.7   10.1 – 9.4
 Sum the squared differences
Squared differ Var. = ∑ of the
0.81 squared
0.25 differences /n-1
0.16 = 2.56/6-1
0.36 = 2.56/5 =0.512
0.49
0.49 So, the variance =
2.56 0.512
(vi) Standard Deviation:

Standard Deviation is the square root

of the variance

= √0.512 = 0.72
So, the standard deviation is 0.72
